Road Deaths in the UK Reach Record Low

In 2008, Government statistics show that 28,567 people were killed or seriously injured, which is 7% fewer than in 2007. It is also the lowest annual total since records started in 1926.

This is despite many A-roads failing to receive a safe rating in a European survey, in fact 58% of A-roads were found to be either neutral or poor.

Whilst these new figures show that the Government has hit their target of a 40% reduction in the number of people killed or seriously injured, the Transport Secretary, Lord Adonis said:

"While this news is encouraging, seven people are still dying on the roads every day and we will continue to do everything we can to prevent these tragedies."

Hi all, This webpage is first-class and so is the manner in which the subject matter was developped. I like some of the comments also even if I would prefer everyone stays on the subject matter in order add value to the subject. It will be also encouraging to the writer if we all could mention it (for many of us who have social accounts such as a delicious, twitter,..). Again, Thanks..

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

Hi. this is kind of an "unconventional" question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you've got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this ...so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I'll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here.

Good day everybody, This site is good quality and so is the manner in which the issue was developped. I like some of the comments also though I would suggest we focus on the topic to add value to the subject. It will be also encouraging to the writer if we all could mention it (for those who use social media such as a reddit, facebook,..). Thanks again.
